When Dark Halls Cry: Gianni, Nick, and Charles Side
While running through the halls Nick thought he had saw something and stopped running. "Nick what's wrong?" Gianni said as he stopped to see what had happened. Nick didn't answer, he just kept starring into the darkness. "Come on we are going to get separ-" Gianni was saying as he turned back forward, the group they already out of sight. All that he could see was pure darkness. He tried listening for the others but all he could hear was the sounds of Nick shuffling in the darkness. Thats when a sudden "OUCH!" came from the darkness up ahead of him. "I knew I had heard something close by..." Nick whispered to Gianni. "Then why didn't you tell everyone before than ran blindly towards it?" Gianni had asked Nick, to no response. Gianni and Nick walked slowly towards the sound that they heard. Gianni was holding his left palm because he had gotten a small cut on it while preparing for the trip. Nick had been ready to fight anything that jumped out at them. Then a familiar face emerged from the shadows. "Yo guys, it's me, Charles. Where is everybody?" Charles whispered to them. Now that they had found Charles they hoped to get back to the rest of the group.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As they walked through the dark they found a mysterious path that lead them a room full of science equipment. Gianni decided to look for anything that could reveal what had happened to the scientists who were examining the meteor. He had spotted a computer that was still on when he had entered the room. He went to the most recent files that had been saved by the previous user. He opened a log of notes that had been saved the same day that the scientists had vanished. "Yo guys check this out!" Gianni said to his friends, "It says that they were able to weaponize the meteor shards.... into arrows?" Everyone looked around, looking for the arrows the notes had mentioned. Gianni had noticed that there was something weird with the keyboard to the computer. It had a unmarked button near the back right of the keyboard. "I'll do the honors!" Charles said quickly pressing the button without a second thought. A drawer across the room opened up and Gianni continued reading. "It says that the arrow was able to change the test subjects in weird ways, and was some how able to leave people unhurt after getting stabbed?" Nick and Charles both grabbed an arrow from the set of five indentions, in which one was missing. They both had the brilliant idea of seeing how sharp the arrow was and poke their body. Almost by some mystical force the arrows stab the two.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"YOU IDIOTS!" Gianni had yelled in panic. As he ran up an arrow flew through the room. It had glided through the air and eventually hit it's target, Gianni. All three of them had collapsed in the room from these mysterious arrows. They all had awoken in ten minutes from the incident. "Sooooooo...." Charles had said as Gianni, in a groggy haze, "What happened?" Everyone's thoughts were scrambled. It almost seemed like the arrows had chose to stab them on purpose. "What even happened to me?" Gianni had thought, he looked around the room, no one else was in there with them. Then Charles had noticed that all the arrows had gone missing. "Somebody must have taken them, there's no way they just got up and walked away!" Nick was nervous. What if the reason the place was abandoned was because of something to do with these arrows that they had been experimenting on. Eventually the trio had continued looking for anything suspicious.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eventually they decided to leave. They walked through the halls, slowly. They wandered through the halls for quite a while until they heard a voice from behind them. "Hey guys RUN!" El shouted at them as she sped past them. "What?" Gianni said as he looked at what she was running from. It seemed like hundreds of shadowy hands were chasing after her, and now they were following Gianni, Nick, and Charles now. Their casual walk through the halls turned into a whole sprint. They followed after El. She lead them through what had felt like thousands of different paths. Eventually the suns began to rise. The hands that were chasing them seemed to vanish as it rose. Just as the hands went away, the darkness lifted from the halls. "Look! The door out!" she had said. Everyone had emptied out of the building. Some time later Andrew finally made his way out. He collapsed to the ground as soon as he saw the others. "There was so many hands... they all chased after me fo-r sooo long..." Andrew said as he tried to catch his breath.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gianni had explained to everyone what he could recollect from the events that happened in the lab. After he was done explaining they all relaxed as they had waited for Daniel to come out, with the pieces of the meteor. Charles pulled El to the side and they talked for a long time. Gianni tried listening in, but he only was able to hear the occasional chuckle from Charles. "He's probably trying to get some coochie" Andrew said, and Gianni and Nick broke into laughter. A siren blared through the building. "uh-oh" Nick said. Everyone was even more anxious about Daniel's mission to get the meteor. Eventually, about an hour after Andrew had escaped, Daniel finally walked out. In his hands was the whole meteor. "Did he really just steal the whole meteor?" El said in disbelief. Baffled by the fact that he carried the whole meteor out the entrance without breaking a sweat, they ran up to him. "How are you carrying that large meteor, it must weigh at least 300 pounds, it's so big!" Gianni said as he ran up to Daniel. As he put the meteor even he realized that it was weird that he was able to lift the huge meteor without any problem. As he placed down the meteor, all the others ran up and tried picking it up to no avail. Chrales tried picking it up and ended up pushing it off of where the meteor was balanced. Then suddenly the meteor started to roll down the hill. Most of them were too too tired to chase after it. Everyone stayed, except Daniel, Andrew, and El, who had ran after it, the rest feeling tired for some reason.
